Good news : )

Since the last time I updated my blog, which was just a few days ago, I got the news that I'm able to stay in Port Heiden just a little bit longer. : ) Like I had said, I'm not quite ready to leave this place and these people yet, so this made me really happy! After my set date of leaving in the beginning of April passes, I'll start working as an aid... mainly working with a few particular students each day. I'm really excited to be able to stay and enjoy this all just a little bit longer. Plus, that means that I get to see graduation! I've told a few of you that I wanted to stay and see graduation and that it meant a lot to me because one of the boys that I work with everyday, is graduating and knowing that I helped him, it will just be pretty neat to see him graduate. As well as all the other fun things that will be going on in and out of the school. So it looks like I'll be coming home at the end of May. I have a lot of awesome people to thank for that. : )
 
Yesterday Kasie and I did an hour of dancing on Just Dance to work out and then we went for a walk down the beach to old Meshik because the weather was just too pretty not to take advantage of it. By the way, it's another pretty day, too! We walked down the icy beach - or climbed in some cases - and made our way to old Meshik and back. We found some pretty neat things along the way and it ended up being about a three mile walk, total. It was a nice walk!

You can see the different color of water that's close to the shore. That's actually all ice that rolls up on the shore in the waves. It makes the coolest sound when the waves are crashing!  
 
There were actually quite a few wolf tracks that we found along the beach that were a pretty decent size. This one was almost the size of my hand!
 
Bald Eagle up there on Grandma Annie's old house! There were two sitting up there but the other one flew away before we got close enough for a picture. I think I've taken a million pictures of this same view or something similiar. That house is just sitting up there so perfectly... it's too awesome of a sight not to take a picture of!
 
 
 

Then we did pizza night because the four of us hadn't done that in awhile and some more Just Dance followed that...
 
I'm over in the school today, getting some work done and skyping with my parents because the internet at the house isn't working. While I was here, I figured I would give another little update because apparently I'm not updating fast enough. ; ) I got another glass float beaded today while over at Kasie and Derek's and I'm excited to start on another one! I've also been painting some, too! Next, I want to learn how to crochet... one thing at a time for now though!

When you graduate college, there's just a world of decisions that need to be made and honestly, no one warns you about those decisions. I'm facing a lot of them now and it's got my mind going in a million different directions... I have quite a few things to decide in a very short amount of time. There's been a lot of thinking going on and I'm sure that it won't stop.
 
I think all that thinking requires a nice steak dinner tonight - and a good nights sleep! So I think after I leave here, that's what I'll go do. : )
